ChIP-Seq of TAL1 and its regulatory partners in T-ALL cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The oncogenic transcription factor TAL1/SCL is aberrantly expressed in over 40% of cases of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), emphasizing its importance in the molecular pathogenesis of T-ALL. Here we identify the core transcriptional regulatory circuit controlled by TAL1 and its regulatory partners HEB, E2A, LMO1, LMO2, GATA3 and RUNX1 in T-ALL cells. We show that TAL1 forms an interconnected auto-regulatory loop with its partners, and that the TAL1 complex directly activates the MYB oncogene, forming a feed-forward positive regulatory loop that further promotes the TAL1-regulated oncogenic program. one of the cirtical downstream targets in this circuitry is the TRIB2 gene, which is oppositely regulated by TAL1 and HEB/E2A, and is essential for the survival of T-ALL cells.
